The 2001 Cellar Batlle Gran Reserva Brut (disgorged in 2011) has a lifted bouquet that shows the benefits of bottle age when compared to the 2002. It offers a citrus-driven bouquet with limestone aromas a touch of lanolin and honeysuckle that emerge with aeration. The palate is (once again) extraordinarily precise on the entry with tangible minerality and hints of white truffle. The acidity is perfectly in synch with the taut citrus fruit lending the finish laser-like focus married with unerring refinement. Drink now-2015+. Neal Martin
